Letter: In support of Judge Walker's bid for re-election

Posted: Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Opinion

Your recent diatribe against Judge Ronnie Walker is just another example of your poor judgment and hallucination. It appears that the powers that be at the Globe-News are busily attacking windmills without a helmet. Your charges show that you haven't a clue of the court and proceedings, just mumbling rumor, and calling it truth.

Fortunately, enough voters in Randall County are accustomed to your shooting from the lip, and ignore your baseless rants.

I have been practicing law more than 26 years and have been board certified in family law for more than 20 years.

I have had several cases in Judge Ronnie Walker's court since he has taken the bench. I have never non-suited or dismissed a case that ended up in his court. My clients and I have always been treated with respect by Judge Walker, who always has exhibited appropriate judicial demeanor in his courtroom. Judge Walker treated all parties with fairness and displayed strong knowledge of the law.

From having first-hand experience in Judge Walker's court, I intend to cast my vote for him and encourage my fellow Randall County residents to do likewise.

Correction: This file has been changed to reflect the following change: The letter by Jamie S. Vandivere, writing in support of Randall County Court at Law Judge Ronnie Walker's re-election, left out a key word contained in the original submission. The sentence should have read: "I have never non-suited or dismissed a case that ended up in (Judge Walker's) court."
